The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on both editions of the OS 6-inch map. Situated within a slight depression at the junction of two field walls. Naturally-occurring spring. The water gathers in a small, shallow pool and then flows N and NE through an area of wet, marshy ground. Adjacent to the NE of the spring is a low, circular rise (diam. c.6m; H 0.4m). The Ordnance Survey Name Books (1836, 315 (130) recorded that this was known as 'Tobar Luarain or St. Loran's Well and that it was formerly a 'station well'.
